During his childhood he went to a private school and after high-school he was able to go to Harvard. During College he found his true love who he ended up marrying, her name was Virginia. They had two kids named Michael and Anne. He was the  founder of Group f/64 and received many awards such as: Conservation Service Award - 1968, Presidential Medal of Freedom - 1980, Sierra Club John Muir Award - 1963, and Hasselblad Award - 1981. Unfortunately he past away on April, 22 1984.

This is my favorite picture of his, because I love how the sun is coming through the clouds. Also the mountain has a super cool black and white effect with the snow.
